Astroblaster

Hello!

I wonder if you know where I can find complete Astroblaster, in .tap or .t64 format? I've got a few but they're all truncated/faulty that as the game freezes (or something like that) after a few levels... Sad

Copy protection I guess...

Today I've searched at the 'net after this game but I realized that there's a few totally different games with same name, both Astroblaster and Ad Infinitum so I thought that I should play the game again to be able tell you more exactly about this game.

It's a simple and neat shoot-em-up with simple yet cute graphics. The name is Astroblaster but in game it is called Ad Infinitum.

I've transferred the game to PC and uploaded it to "my" server; you can grab it at http://bubblebobble.c64.org/c64/Astroblaster.t64

The problem with this game is that I can't make it any further than to level 0E (there should be a total of 255 (or FF) levels). When I've reached level 0E the game is telling "Prepare for docking" and everything I can do is move the ship left or right, nothing more. I can't even exit the game or something.

If you know what I should do please tell me. Or is the game faulty? (I guess the latter answer)

Well... you have to dock to your base, that's what I remember.

Also try Dizasterblaster, it's more/less the same.

Ooh, thank you bunches! It works!!! (To dock the ship in Dizasterblaster)
And yes the game is very same if not exactly the same as Astroblaster (but with another name of course)

Nope...
If you wish you can download the game and test it for youself.. Smile

I think that it is a badly cracked version.
